अन्यतराम् एव वर्तनीं संस्करोति । हीयते ऽन्यतरा । स यथैकपाद् व्रजन् रथो वैकेन चक्रेण वर्तमानो रिष्यत्य् एवम् अस्य यज्ञो रिष्यति । यज्ञं रिष्यन्तं यजमानो ऽनु रिष्यति । स इष्ट्वा पापीयान् भवति

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

He performs perfectly the one way only (that by words), but the other is injured. As a man walking on one foot, or a carriage going on one wheel, is injured, his sacrifice is injured, and with the injured sacrifice the sacrificer is injured; yes, having sacrificed, he becomes worse.
